Paniponi Dash!

SAWASHIRO Miyuki 沢城みゆき is a great seiyuu and a strange bird. She spends her time reading, likes classical music, dresses older than her 23 years, and speaks gently, but with great confidence in her own opinions.She started in anime at 14 (born in Tokyo 1985.06.02), and has been working ever...

All’s fair. Impressions: Shinbo lost control of the animators again. It wasn’t as well managed as episode 1 was, but there were a ton of funky camera angles, zoom ins and zoom outs, and a lot more directorial and artistic tricks that are a lot more in line with stuff like Zetsubou Sensei...

ひだまりスケッチYuno has just begun school where she always wanted, Yamabuki High School. She moves away from her family to an apartment by herself in a complex called Hidamari-so, right in front of the school. There, she meets a classmate, Miyako, as well as, two seniors students, Hiro and Sae....

With just over two weeks to go until the new season starts, it's time to think about what's coming. Tastes differ, but the shows I myself am most looking forward to are:the mysterious moe romances ef - a tale of melodies and Clannad - After Story the absurd comedy Hyakko (with Orikasa Fumiko and Hirano...

It should come to a surprise to nobody that Miyako took them. Impressions: All in all, a pretty fun episode, and they tricked me a little bit with the twist. Everybody thought Hiro had fainted after looking at herself in the mirror with her tight pants on, but she had actually just brained herself...

Adaptation - in the world of media, it is the act of altering the written text of a story so that it may be preformed for film, television, or theater. It’s not as easy as just handing the actors a novel and expecting them to be able to preform the story on camera or in front of an audience. ...

I’ll confess right here and right now: I don’t own that many character songs to begin with, so there really is no point in making something like this if I have a limited collection. If anything, this will be a really weak listBut hell, I wanted to write about my top ten favorite character...

Ugh what a mess. Before watching, I already had a hunch that watching Tsukuyomi Moon Phase wouldn’t be easy to watch, but I decided to have faith in Akiyuki Shinbo, its director. I’ve loved most of his other works so far: Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei, Pani Poni Dash and Soul Taker were excellent,...

well actually, mid-way; on one hand, I was waiting for subs to come out first and on the other, my hands were full these last two months but as the saying goes: "better late then never"! I must express my surprise that the summer season has a significant number of shows that I follow, especially...

With Hidamari Sketch x365 currently airing, I finally decided to watch through all of the original series. Stupid me, I should have done this sooner. Hidamari Sketch is the sort of show that is the most supremely difficult to convince others to watch if they aren’t already well-versed in shows...

Hidamari Sketch x 365 - 01 Hidamari Sketch done better. THIS was a great way to get the series going! Punyaa~ I’m basing a lot off of just the first episode, but I really hope SHAFT keeps what they are doing going. From OP to ED, I was yanked back into the Hidamari universe and completely absorbed...

what is going on with my neck? I usually don’t write about shows I downright dislike because I stay far, far away from them in the first place. This probably means that I’ve overlooked some shows I would’ve loved, but I don’t even have enough time to watch what I do now (Hello,...

For me, the best way to guess how good a coming anime will be, is by looking at its staff: the director and writers and animation director and sound director, and so on. People who have made good shows before tend to make good shows again.I sometimes start watching a show for its voice actors, but I...
